My name is Amanda and I WAS Bipolar and Pregnant. As of August 21, 2011 it was 9 months since River Sadie graced our world... and I had NO idea what a beautiful chaos she would bring in her rucksack of tricks. My self-absorption index has plummeted to an all time low, yet the pendulum still swings; this new universe called motherhood is dizzying. I welcome you to a place where you can read a candid account of dealings with mental illness as a mother, and can apply it to ANY manifestation.
